I guess it just depends on how long you think Brady will be able to carry on for at his level. If you think he's going to go for another 5 years then dealing Garapolo makes sense I suppose. The trouble now is if Brady gets injured or starts to rapidly decline then they're going to be substantially weaker than if they had Jimmy.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Del Rio following him in January if there isn't a big improvement soon . Looking at the rest of the season, I can't see the Raiders winning more than one or two of their remaining games.

Drink responsibly. Don't spill it.

I would hate to work the PR for the Giants right now. The decision to bench Eli for Geno Smith and therefore end his streak of consecutive starts at 210 has gone down like a lead balloon with the fan base, media, and ex-players.

I'm gonna say this and Im done.. ELI MANNING DID NOT QUIT ON HIS TEAM, HE DIDN'T TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT, AND NEVER BITCHED ABOUT WHAT WAS GIVEN HIM.. HE SHOWED UP WHEN MANY OF THESE SO CALLED PROS QUIT ON HIM.. AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS? FUCK!!!!!!!!

I’m honestly at a lost for words. As a person that has seen Eli the QB but also Eli the Man, I’m truly pissed about what has taking place today. This decision is one of the STUPIDEST I’ve seen in my time being asap with pro sports #noloyalty#14years#bullshit

The only quarterback that’s ever thrown me the ball. I can’t say I agree with the decision…

The ambrosia of emotions right now!! Didn't think the @Giants season could get any worse now THIS!!

Ed McCaffrey‏
As a former NYG I’m embarrassed by the callousness and lack of respect the organization has shown Eli Manning. Come on guys, you’re better than that!

Kurt Warner: "He's never done anything but show character and do the right thing...shame on the Giants."

Wow so Eli Manning get benched. Is it me or is #BenMcAdoo running out of ppl to throw under the Bus. He's like a student who didn't study for a test but keeps saying the teacher just doesn't like me. No Son you failed yourself. Str8 donkey

I'm getting to get writing on my column, but I'll say this: The #Giants owed Eli Manning a hell of a lot more than what they gave him today.

It should go over like a lead balloon. It is an impossibly stupid decision.

This coming from a Pats fan, there is no way that Manning should be pulled from that dumpster fire of a team.

I could maybe understand it if you were going to start Webb. I wouldn't agree with the decision but i would understand it. You have a young QB that you think could be something and your team is 2-9...sure, start the kid and see if he is the answer.

But Geno Smith.....really?

I mean, Geno Smith was arguably one of the worst QBs to stride onto the field in the past 5 years. Not only was he awful, he was awful for the Jets. They play in the same fucking stadium. It's not like he was playing in LA. He was literally playing for the team that shares the stadium with the Giants. Everyone in NY/NJ (and the rest of the NFL) knows what Geno Smith can do well. What Geno Smith can do well is not be a QB capable of starting in the NFL.

You don't bench ANY QB for Geno Smith. There is no point. He is not going to be the starter when Eli retires, he doesn't make the team better (he likely makes it worse) to win now. The team is bad enough to get a high draft pick without putting Smith in to tank the season.

Starting Geno Smith literally accomplishes nothing other than prove that McAdoo is an even worse coach than people already thought he was.
